+Error Handling for Knewsticker Pre commands
+
+Error handling might not be a prerequisite for writing Knewsticker scripts,
+yet it would be nice if you tried to introduce some comprehensive error
+handling in your scripts. Knewsticker is a graphical application and as such
+the user is not able to read any error output your program might produce.
+Knewsticker knows a variety of error codes and each is handled in a
+different way. You may look those codes up in the table provided.
+
+Please make sure to return those error codes properly for the development
+language you are trying to use. If you are trying to use Perl, please make
+sure you understand an have read the top most part of the error handling
+document. It will explain to you, how it is fairly easy to catch errors and
+report them back to Knewsticker.
+
+If you are still unsure how to do it on a system level, simply implement
+your own error handling and make sure, that your return codes match the
+event(s) described in the error handling document you will find in CVS as
+well.
